Technology training

There is a wide range of technologies available to assist people who are blind or have low vision. Whether you wish to use a computer, smart phone or tablet, or become more efficient at work, school, or university – there is a piece of technology that can help.

Our Technology trainer can help you to explore and choose the devices that works best for you. Our trainer can demonstrate and show you how to use Apple and Android smartphones, tablets and voice-assistance technologies like the Amazon Echo and Google Home Hub.

We can provide help with:

Reading - audio books and screen readers

Navigation and travel - GPS, Sound Scape, Blind Square

Shopping - online ordering, apps and deliveries

Listening - music, radio, TV audio description, smart speakers

Communication - social media, Skype, email, texting

Researching - internet search engines

We provide one to one, in person, or over the phone training, advice, and support.
